New GOP chairman in El Paso County has "a vision"

Josh Hosler is the new chairman of the El Paso County Republican Party, and issued this statement on Sept. 19 after he was installed on Monday, Sept. 18. Read our story about the selection here.

I’d like to thank our Executive Committee members, elected officials, precinct leaders, and everyone who came out to last night’s meeting and encouraged me to take on the duties of Chairman. I have had the opportunity over the past few years to get to know the Republicans of El Paso County. I know that the passion for freedom and liberty runs deep in this community and I am so thankful to be a part of it.

I am focused and I have a vision that will lead us to victory. As a Marine, you are taught to never ever give up on the mission. I will bring this same commitment to my position as the El Paso County Republican Chair.

I plan to work together with past chairs and volunteers to make this transition as seamless as possible. In advance, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for your patience and support over the next few weeks.

I will be choosing a Vice-Chair in the near future. I will look for a candidate who is willing to help unite the Party and work together as a team to help win the elections in 2018. As we all know, all successful campaigns trails lead through El Paso County. Working together, we can ensure stronger legislative majorities at the State Capitol and return fiscal sanity and common-sense governance to the Governor’s Mansion.

Please join me in thanking our former Chairman Trevor Dierdorff for his service and hard work. I would also like to thank our Secretary Kit Roupe and Treasurer Linda Potter for their tireless work the last few months. Without them, we would not have had such a successful past six months.

Again, thank you to everyone that supported me as Vice-Chairman, I plan to work just as hard for you as your Chairman.
